From there the students will shade and shape that into the real-life objects they are seeing. Students will be drawing a still-life study with a one-point light source. The class will begin with the instructor demonstrating how to translate forms and create shadows. The instructor will be walking around the room assisting students. On Monday we will be working strictly with pencils to focus on tone gradients. Wednesday the kids will be working with pastels applying color and viewing how colors reflect off each other. \nPOTTERY FOR BEGINERS\nIn Pottery we will be using air dry clay. The students will be taught how to make a vessel using pinch\, coil\, slab\, or score and weld techniques. On the second day we will be able to decorate our work with paint. \nTIE DYE\nWe will be outside to tie dye our camp shirt that came with their registration. Camp organizers will try their hardest to obtain shirts for all campers. If that is not possible\, please have a shirt available for them. The students will use a resist dyeing technique. The instructor will demonstrate different ways to fold\, twist\, and pleat the fabric. They will have free choice on spiral\, scrunch\, and free form techniques. A quick lesson over color theory will be given before they choose their colors. The possibilities are endless between designs and color selection. Students may be sent home with further care instructions. \nMOSAICS\nIn Mosaics the students will have to plan out their design. After their project is fully drafted\, the instructor will assist in helping the students do the following steps: planning review\, making your art board to the correct size\, and placing a design that fits the space. \nStudents will work on Monday with paper and smaller fragments to practice for the following class. Wednesday we will make a steppingstone with small glass fragments in cement. The cement will take two weeks to fully cure. The students will be sent home with further care instructions. \nMIXED MEDIA COLLAGE\nIn mixed media collage the class will learn how to create a unified piece of art using different materials\, like paper\, fabric\, paint\, and found objects. These are combined and arranged onto a singular surface. As a class we will explore different textures\, colors\, and subjects. The students will be taught how to layer different materials\, apply paint or ink over collage elements\, and how to implement texture with various mediums. \nIn this class we are trying to create personal\, unique\, and expressive artworks. I would love if each student could bring some items from home. These could include Paper (newspapers\, magazines\, photographs\, etc.)\, Fabric\, Paint (acrylic\, watercolor\, etc.)\, Ink\, Found objects (buttons\, beads\, etc.)\, and Text. \nARTIST INSPIRATION PAINTING\nArtist inspiration will be a simple art history lesson\, and we will play a game. The students will have a prompt to create a new piece of work inspired by the artist of their choosing. This exercise is meant to challenge and get the students creativity flowing. \nART PRINCIPLES\nArt Principles will consist of basic color theory and design; this is very crucial to successful art. Students will be given a small lesson\, and we will have a scavenger hunt. An exercise will be given to groups to teach them how to work together and make a successful collaborative project. \nILLUSTRATED SELF\nIn illustrated self we will work on mixed media pieces and explore what makes us each unique. The children will use this exercise to find things that represent them as a person. The goal is to learn how to overlay different mediums and to create a self-portrait without an external reflection of their physical person. \nWATER TRANSFER PRINTING\nDuring Water Transfer Printing students will create a marbled design on objects by dipping them in water. The marbled pattern created on the water’s surface will adhere to the object. This process is also known as hydro graphics. Water Transfer Printing allows for complete coverage\, even on complex\, three-dimensional shapes. We will have a demonstration then each student will be able to create their very own design and transfer onto the objects provided. \nMIXED MEDIA SUMI-E / RESIST\nIn mixed media students will learn how and what is a resist layer in addition to the art of Sumi-e. In Resist the students will be taught how to block pigment transfer by blending watercolors over the blocked designs. An open creative session will take place as the instructor walks around the room and helps. During Sumi-e the students will paint organic forms using brushes. 3D applique and the practice of ink blowing will be demonstrated for the class. A quick nature inspired project will then follow. \n3D PAPER RELIEF SCULPTURE\nIn 3D Paper Relief we will be making small sculptures using assorted paper and glue. Students will be working on their hand eye coordination with precision cutting and gluing. The class will work on their design and engineering for structural integrity. The students will have to consider color\, patterns\, and durability. If there is anything you would like them to bring from home to potentially implement it into your work\, please do so. The sky’s the limit with this challenge. \nPLEIN AIR\nIn Plein Air the children will go outside as a class to draw what they see. Everyone will be given materials for working outdoors. During this segment the students will learn how to slow down and observe what is around them. The subject will be selected by a game of I-Spy. (Please send sunscreen if you would like. We do try to stay in the shade as much as possible during these times.) \nCARTOONING\nIn Cartooning students will be learning character development and story blocking. We will learn how to create characters and how to tell a story that is simple\, relatable\, and easy to understand. The cartooning application will be applied in a one-panel format. As a class\, we will draw\, outline\, and finish with watercolor\, marker\, or colored pencil. In modern day terms it is creating a main character and putting them in a meme. \nOPEN STUDIO\nOpen studio time will allow more time to complete projects or explore mediums more in-depth. An instructor will assist if needed for all creative purposes. \nROCK PAINTING\nDuring Rock Painting students will create art that can even go in the garden. The instructor will help students create Mandalas or other designs. We will be using paint markers and 3D paints. I want the kids to get in the flow\, play with colors\, shapes and patterns. They may sketch the design prior onto your rock with a pencil or just go for it. Full creativity should be unleashed by layering on designs\, gradually building up the complexity with shapes and contrasting colors. Rock Painting is a super-easy technique known as pictographs. Pictographs refer to human-made markings on natural rock surfaces. This practice is so old it is often found in caves or open-air sites. Even though it is no longer the stone age we can still have fun painting rocks. \nPOP ART/Popsicle Day\nOn Fun Friday we will finish off the week by jumping into the world of Pop Art. The class will be shown some iconic famous works and taught about the artist that made them. We will get a cold treat and make our very own version of what Pop Art is to us. All materials are available to our young artist. The instructor will help the students as needed. (If there is a food allergy\, please make sure we are aware of it.)

The class will be shown some iconic famous works and taught about the artist that made them. We will get a cold treat and make our very own version of what Pop Art is to us. All materials are available to our young artist. The instructor will help the students as needed. (If there is a food allergy\, please make sure we are aware of it.)

From there the students will shade and shape that into the real-life objects they are seeing. Students will be drawing a still-life study with a one-point light source. The class will begin with the instructor demonstrating how to translate forms and create shadows. The instructor will be walking around the room assisting students. On Monday we will be working strictly with pencils to focus on tone gradients. Wednesday the kids will be working with pastels applying color and viewing how colors reflect off each other. \nPOTTERY FOR BEGINERS\nIn Pottery we will be using air dry clay. The students will be taught how to make a vessel using pinch\, coil\, slab\, or score and weld techniques. On the second day we will be able to decorate our work with paint. \nTIE DYE\nWe will be outside to tie dye our camp shirt that came with their registration. Camp organizers will try their hardest to obtain shirts for all campers. If that is not possible\, please have a shirt available for them. The students will use a resist dyeing technique. The instructor will demonstrate different ways to fold\, twist\, and pleat the fabric. They will have free choice on spiral\, scrunch\, and free form techniques. A quick lesson over color theory will be given before they choose their colors. The possibilities are endless between designs and color selection. Students may be sent home with further care instructions. \nMOSAICS\nIn Mosaics the students will have to plan out their design. After their project is fully drafted\, the instructor will assist in helping the students do the following steps: planning review\, making your art board to the correct size\, and placing a design that fits the space. \nStudents will work on Monday with paper and smaller fragments to practice for the following class. Wednesday we will make a steppingstone with small glass fragments in cement. The cement will take two weeks to fully cure. The students will be sent home with further care instructions. \nMIXED MEDIA COLLAGE\nIn mixed media collage the class will learn how to create a unified piece of art using different materials\, like paper\, fabric\, paint\, and found objects. These are combined and arranged onto a singular surface. As a class we will explore different textures\, colors\, and subjects. The students will be taught how to layer different materials\, apply paint or ink over collage elements\, and how to implement texture with various mediums. \nIn this class we are trying to create personal\, unique\, and expressive artworks. I would love if each student could bring some items from home. These could include Paper (newspapers\, magazines\, photographs\, etc.)\, Fabric\, Paint (acrylic\, watercolor\, etc.)\, Ink\, Found objects (buttons\, beads\, etc.)\, and Text. \nARTIST INSPIRATION PAINTING\nArtist inspiration will be a simple art history lesson\, and we will play a game. The students will have a prompt to create a new piece of work inspired by the artist of their choosing. This exercise is meant to challenge and get the students creativity flowing. \nART PRINCIPLES\nArt Principles will consist of basic color theory and design; this is very crucial to successful art. Students will be given a small lesson\, and we will have a scavenger hunt. An exercise will be given to groups to teach them how to work together and make a successful collaborative project. \nILLUSTRATED SELF\nIn illustrated self we will work on mixed media pieces and explore what makes us each unique. The children will use this exercise to find things that represent them as a person. The goal is to learn how to overlay different mediums and to create a self-portrait without an external reflection of their physical person. \nWATER TRANSFER PRINTING\nDuring Water Transfer Printing students will create a marbled design on objects by dipping them in water. The marbled pattern created on the water’s surface will adhere to the object. This process is also known as hydro graphics. Water Transfer Printing allows for complete coverage\, even on complex\, three-dimensional shapes. We will have a demonstration then each student will be able to create their very own design and transfer onto the objects provided. \nMIXED MEDIA SUMI-E / RESIST\nIn mixed media students will learn how and what is a resist layer in addition to the art of Sumi-e. In Resist the students will be taught how to block pigment transfer by blending watercolors over the blocked designs. An open creative session will take place as the instructor walks around the room and helps. During Sumi-e the students will paint organic forms using brushes. 3D applique and the practice of ink blowing will be demonstrated for the class. A quick nature inspired project will then follow. \n3D PAPER RELIEF SCULPTURE\nIn 3D Paper Relief we will be making small sculptures using assorted paper and glue. Students will be working on their hand eye coordination with precision cutting and gluing. The class will work on their design and engineering for structural integrity. The students will have to consider color\, patterns\, and durability. If there is anything you would like them to bring from home to potentially implement it into your work\, please do so. The sky’s the limit with this challenge. \nPLEIN AIR\nIn Plein Air the children will go outside as a class to draw what they see. Everyone will be given materials for working outdoors. During this segment the students will learn how to slow down and observe what is around them. The subject will be selected by a game of I-Spy. (Please send sunscreen if you would like. We do try to stay in the shade as much as possible during these times.) \nCARTOONING\nIn Cartooning students will be learning character development and story blocking. We will learn how to create characters and how to tell a story that is simple\, relatable\, and easy to understand. The cartooning application will be applied in a one-panel format. As a class\, we will draw\, outline\, and finish with watercolor\, marker\, or colored pencil. In modern day terms it is creating a main character and putting them in a meme. \nOPEN STUDIO\nOpen studio time will allow more time to complete projects or explore mediums more in-depth. An instructor will assist if needed for all creative purposes. \nROCK PAINTING\nDuring Rock Painting students will create art that can even go in the garden. The instructor will help students create Mandalas or other designs. We will be using paint markers and 3D paints. I want the kids to get in the flow\, play with colors\, shapes and patterns. They may sketch the design prior onto your rock with a pencil or just go for it. Full creativity should be unleashed by layering on designs\, gradually building up the complexity with shapes and contrasting colors. Rock Painting is a super-easy technique known as pictographs. Pictographs refer to human-made markings on natural rock surfaces. This practice is so old it is often found in caves or open-air sites. Even though it is no longer the stone age we can still have fun painting rocks. \nPOP ART/Popsicle Day\nOn Fun Friday we will finish off the week by jumping into the world of Pop Art.

From there the students will shade and shape that into the real-life objects they are seeing. Students will be drawing a still-life study with a one-point light source. The class will begin with the instructor demonstrating how to translate forms and create shadows. The instructor will be walking around the room assisting students. On Monday we will be working strictly with pencils to focus on tone gradients. Wednesday the kids will be working with pastels applying color and viewing how colors reflect off each other. \nPOTTERY FOR BEGINERS\nIn Pottery we will be using air dry clay. The students will be taught how to make a vessel using pinch\, coil\, slab\, or score and weld techniques. On the second day we will be able to decorate our work with paint. \nTIE DYE\nWe will be outside to tie dye our camp shirt that came with their registration. Camp organizers will try their hardest to obtain shirts for all campers. If that is not possible\, please have a shirt available for them. The students will use a resist dyeing technique. The instructor will demonstrate different ways to fold\, twist\, and pleat the fabric. They will have free choice on spiral\, scrunch\, and free form techniques. A quick lesson over color theory will be given before they choose their colors. The possibilities are endless between designs and color selection. Students may be sent home with further care instructions. \nMOSAICS\nIn Mosaics the students will have to plan out their design. After their project is fully drafted\, the instructor will assist in helping the students do the following steps: planning review\, making your art board to the correct size\, and placing a design that fits the space. \nStudents will work on Monday with paper and smaller fragments to practice for the following class. Wednesday we will make a steppingstone with small glass fragments in cement. The cement will take two weeks to fully cure. The students will be sent home with further care instructions. \nMIXED MEDIA COLLAGE\nIn mixed media collage the class will learn how to create a unified piece of art using different materials\, like paper\, fabric\, paint\, and found objects. These are combined and arranged onto a singular surface. As a class we will explore different textures\, colors\, and subjects. The students will be taught how to layer different materials\, apply paint or ink over collage elements\, and how to implement texture with various mediums. \nIn this class we are trying to create personal\, unique\, and expressive artworks. I would love if each student could bring some items from home. These could include Paper (newspapers\, magazines\, photographs\, etc.)\, Fabric\, Paint (acrylic\, watercolor\, etc.)\, Ink\, Found objects (buttons\, beads\, etc.)\, and Text. \nARTIST INSPIRATION PAINTING\nArtist inspiration will be a simple art history lesson\, and we will play a game. The students will have a prompt to create a new piece of work inspired by the artist of their choosing. This exercise is meant to challenge and get the students creativity flowing. \nART PRINCIPLES\nArt Principles will consist of basic color theory and design; this is very crucial to successful art. Students will be given a small lesson\, and we will have a scavenger hunt. An exercise will be given to groups to teach them how to work together and make a successful collaborative project. \nILLUSTRATED SELF\nIn illustrated self we will work on mixed media pieces and explore what makes us each unique. The children will use this exercise to find things that represent them as a person. The goal is to learn how to overlay different mediums and to create a self-portrait without an external reflection of their physical person. \nWATER TRANSFER PRINTING\nDuring Water Transfer Printing students will create a marbled design on objects by dipping them in water. The marbled pattern created on the water’s surface will adhere to the object. This process is also known as hydro graphics. Water Transfer Printing allows for complete coverage\, even on complex\, three-dimensional shapes. We will have a demonstration then each student will be able to create their very own design and transfer onto the objects provided. \nMIXED MEDIA SUMI-E / RESIST\nIn mixed media students will learn how and what is a resist layer in addition to the art of Sumi-e. In Resist the students will be taught how to block pigment transfer by blending watercolors over the blocked designs. An open creative session will take place as the instructor walks around the room and helps. During Sumi-e the students will paint organic forms using brushes. 3D applique and the practice of ink blowing will be demonstrated for the class. A quick nature inspired project will then follow. \n3D PAPER RELIEF SCULPTURE\nIn 3D Paper Relief we will be making small sculptures using assorted paper and glue. Students will be working on their hand eye coordination with precision cutting and gluing. The class will work on their design and engineering for structural integrity. The students will have to consider color\, patterns\, and durability. If there is anything you would like them to bring from home to potentially implement it into your work\, please do so. The sky’s the limit with this challenge. \nPLEIN AIR\nIn Plein Air the children will go outside as a class to draw what they see. Everyone will be given materials for working outdoors. During this segment the students will learn how to slow down and observe what is around them. The subject will be selected by a game of I-Spy. (Please send sunscreen if you would like. We do try to stay in the shade as much as possible during these times.) \nCARTOONING\nIn Cartooning students will be learning character development and story blocking. We will learn how to create characters and how to tell a story that is simple\, relatable\, and easy to understand. The cartooning application will be applied in a one-panel format. As a class\, we will draw\, outline\, and finish with watercolor\, marker\, or colored pencil. In modern day terms it is creating a main character and putting them in a meme. \nOPEN STUDIO\nOpen studio time will allow more time to complete projects or explore mediums more in-depth. An instructor will assist if needed for all creative purposes. \nROCK PAINTING\nDuring Rock Painting students will create art that can even go in the garden. The instructor will help students create Mandalas or other designs. We will be using paint markers and 3D paints. I want the kids to get in the flow\, play with colors\, shapes and patterns. They may sketch the design prior onto your rock with a pencil or just go for it. Full creativity should be unleashed by layering on designs\, gradually building up the complexity with shapes and contrasting colors. Rock Painting is a super-easy technique known as pictographs. Pictographs refer to human-made markings on natural rock surfaces. This practice is so old it is often found in caves or open-air sites. Even though it is no longer the stone age we can still have fun painting rocks. \nPOP ART/Popsicle Day\nOn Fun Friday we will finish off the week by jumping into the world of Pop Art. The class will be shown some iconic famous works and taught about the artist that made them. We will get a cold treat and make our very own version of what Pop Art is to us. All materials are available to our young artist. The instructor will help the students as needed. (If there is a food allergy\, please make sure we are aware of it.)

From there the students will shade and shape that into the real-life objects they are seeing. Students will be drawing a still-life study with a one-point light source. The class will begin with the instructor demonstrating how to translate forms and create shadows. The instructor will be walking around the room assisting students. On Monday we will be working strictly with pencils to focus on tone gradients. Wednesday the kids will be working with pastels applying color and viewing how colors reflect off each other. \nPOTTERY FOR BEGINERS\nIn Pottery we will be using air dry clay. The students will be taught how to make a vessel using pinch\, coil\, slab\, or score and weld techniques. On the second day we will be able to decorate our work with paint. \nTIE DYE\nWe will be outside to tie dye our camp shirt that came with their registration. Camp organizers will try their hardest to obtain shirts for all campers. If that is not possible\, please have a shirt available for them. The students will use a resist dyeing technique. The instructor will demonstrate different ways to fold\, twist\, and pleat the fabric. They will have free choice on spiral\, scrunch\, and free form techniques. A quick lesson over color theory will be given before they choose their colors. The possibilities are endless between designs and color selection. Students may be sent home with further care instructions. \nMOSAICS\nIn Mosaics the students will have to plan out their design. After their project is fully drafted\, the instructor will assist in helping the students do the following steps: planning review\, making your art board to the correct size\, and placing a design that fits the space. \nStudents will work on Monday with paper and smaller fragments to practice for the following class. Wednesday we will make a steppingstone with small glass fragments in cement. The cement will take two weeks to fully cure. The students will be sent home with further care instructions. \nMIXED MEDIA COLLAGE\nIn mixed media collage the class will learn how to create a unified piece of art using different materials\, like paper\, fabric\, paint\, and found objects. These are combined and arranged onto a singular surface. As a class we will explore different textures\, colors\, and subjects. The students will be taught how to layer different materials\, apply paint or ink over collage elements\, and how to implement texture with various mediums. \nIn this class we are trying to create personal\, unique\, and expressive artworks. I would love if each student could bring some items from home. These could include Paper (newspapers\, magazines\, photographs\, etc.)\, Fabric\, Paint (acrylic\, watercolor\, etc.)\, Ink\, Found objects (buttons\, beads\, etc.)\, and Text. \nARTIST INSPIRATION PAINTING\nArtist inspiration will be a simple art history lesson\, and we will play a game. The students will have a prompt to create a new piece of work inspired by the artist of their choosing. This exercise is meant to challenge and get the students creativity flowing. \nART PRINCIPLES\nArt Principles will consist of basic color theory and design; this is very crucial to successful art. Students will be given a small lesson\, and we will have a scavenger hunt. An exercise will be given to groups to teach them how to work together and make a successful collaborative project. \nILLUSTRATED SELF\nIn illustrated self we will work on mixed media pieces and explore what makes us each unique. The children will use this exercise to find things that represent them as a person. The goal is to learn how to overlay different mediums and to create a self-portrait without an external reflection of their physical person. \nWATER TRANSFER PRINTING\nDuring Water Transfer Printing students will create a marbled design on objects by dipping them in water. The marbled pattern created on the water’s surface will adhere to the object. This process is also known as hydro graphics. Water Transfer Printing allows for complete coverage\, even on complex\, three-dimensional shapes. We will have a demonstration then each student will be able to create their very own design and transfer onto the objects provided. \nMIXED MEDIA SUMI-E / RESIST\nIn mixed media students will learn how and what is a resist layer in addition to the art of Sumi-e. In Resist the students will be taught how to block pigment transfer by blending watercolors over the blocked designs. An open creative session will take place as the instructor walks around the room and helps. During Sumi-e the students will paint organic forms using brushes. 3D applique and the practice of ink blowing will be demonstrated for the class. A quick nature inspired project will then follow. \n3D PAPER RELIEF SCULPTURE\nIn 3D Paper Relief we will be making small sculptures using assorted paper and glue. Students will be working on their hand eye coordination with precision cutting and gluing. The class will work on their design and engineering for structural integrity. The students will have to consider color\, patterns\, and durability. If there is anything you would like them to bring from home to potentially implement it into your work\, please do so. The sky’s the limit with this challenge. \nPLEIN AIR\nIn Plein Air the children will go outside as a class to draw what they see. Everyone will be given materials for working outdoors. During this segment the students will learn how to slow down and observe what is around them. The subject will be selected by a game of I-Spy. (Please send sunscreen if you would like. We do try to stay in the shade as much as possible during these times.) \nCARTOONING\nIn Cartooning students will be learning character development and story blocking. We will learn how to create characters and how to tell a story that is simple\, relatable\, and easy to understand. The cartooning application will be applied in a one-panel format. As a class\, we will draw\, outline\, and finish with watercolor\, marker\, or colored pencil. In modern day terms it is creating a main character and putting them in a meme. \nOPEN STUDIO\nOpen studio time will allow more time to complete projects or explore mediums more in-depth. An instructor will assist if needed for all creative purposes. \nROCK PAINTING\nDuring Rock Painting students will create art that can even go in the garden. The instructor will help students create Mandalas or other designs. We will be using paint markers and 3D paints. I want the kids to get in the flow\, play with colors\, shapes and patterns. They may sketch the design prior onto your rock with a pencil or just go for it. Full creativity should be unleashed by layering on designs\, gradually building up the complexity with shapes and contrasting colors. Rock Painting is a super-easy technique known as pictographs. Pictographs refer to human-made markings on natural rock surfaces. This practice is so old it is often found in caves or open-air sites. Even though it is no longer the stone age we can still have fun painting rocks. \nPOP ART/Popsicle Day\nOn Fun Friday we will finish off the week by jumping into the world of Pop Art. The class will be shown some iconic famous works and taught about the artist that made them. We will get a cold treat and make our very own version of what Pop Art is to us. All materials are available to our young artist. The instructor will help the students as needed. (If there is a food allergy\, please make sure we are aware of it.)
